# Transfer a domain from Glesys to another registrar

Transferring a domain from Glesys to another registrar requires you to first generate an authorization code. This code is then used at the new registrar.

## Transfer a domain to another registrar using the control panel

To transfer a domain to another registrar, you need to generate an authorization code. This code is then provided to the new registrar. Once the code is entered with the new registrar, the domain transfer process begins.

You generate an authorization code by clicking on a domain to open its overview. Then, click on **Actions** and then **Generate auth-code**.

The code is now displayed in a new dialog box. This is the code you need to provide to the registrar to whom you want to transfer the domain.

## Transfer a domain to another registrar using the API

Use the [domain/generateauthcode](https://github.com/GleSYS/API-docs/wiki/API-Documentation#domaingenerateauthcode) to generate an authorization code that you can use with the new registrar to transfer the domain out of Glesys.
